Description

Charles S. Taylor Legal Documents (Two) Signed. Both
documents are affixed together. The first document is four pages
(8.5" x 13") and written in Spanish in 1836 while Taylor was still
land commissioner, likely before Texas declared its independence
from Mexico. It is signed "Carlos S. Taylor, Com." (it is
also signed by Gustavus Hart and Bennett Blake). Affixed to the
lower margin of page four is a yellow page (8" x 5") written in
English and dated March 29, 1838. It reads in part, "Republic of
Texas, County of Nacogdoches. Personally appeared before me,
Charles S. Taylor, Chief Justice of said County and Ex-Officio,
Notary Public, Adolphus Sterne, who being duly sworn, saith that he
is acquainted with the signature of Gustavus Hart & Bennett
Black that he has see them write, and that he believes the
signatures to the annexed document to be genuine." Taylor has
signed this document "Charl. S. Taylor/ C[hief].
J[ustice]. of the County." Docketed on verso.

Charles Taylor (1808-1865) settled in Texas as a merchant in 1830.
In 1835 he was appointed land commissioner. He played an active
role in the Texas Revolution, signing the Declaration of
Independence in 1836. Later that year, he was appointed Nacogdoches
County's chief justice. The four-page Spanish document has some
separations along the folds.
